If you like getting C's and D's, this is a great professor for you. She is a hard grader, and can be harsh.

Comment:

Terrible woman. She has a tough time grasping the fact that not everyone in the introductory class is a theatre major. She grades things in labs, even though you're probably not an English major either. Avoid her at all costs. If you're looking for a GER 6 class, theatre isn't it; go with art.

Comment:

She's very challenging and absolutely brilliant. She won't put up with crap or people not doing the work and she hates dumb pedestrian thinking, and will tell you so if you speak without thinking. But if you listen to her criticisms without letting your fragile ego be dented, you'll learn SO much.

Seriously, I think that I would rather have put my hand in a blender every morning rather than go to this class. Having to sit there for 90mins was the most painful experience of my life.

Comment:

Her classes are extremely difficult, but I feel that I do learn a LOT. I will say that she can show favoritism and she does expect a lot out of students... but you have NO room to complain unless you've had her as a director on a performance.

Comment:

She is horribly mean - believe everything people write. Specifically don't take intro if you have no theater knowledge - she expects you to come knowing most of the stuff they teach.

I think everything has been said about her rings true for me. Oh one more thing. You know The Wizard of Oz? Remember the scarecrow and the wicked witch? Well if they got together this would be their child, as I affectionately call her: Chansky

ATTENTION ALL SADO-MASICHISTS: Chansky's class will be the best experience of your life, b/c it is the most painful 80 minutes of your W&M week. She's cruel, manipulative, and pycho. You'll love her...I sure did

Comment:

Although she posesses a great amount of theater knowledge, her criticism is never constructive. She seems to thrive upon demeaning her students and constantly singles out those who are already self-conscious.

I AM EMBITTERED FOR HAVING TAKEN THIS CLASS. IF YOU ARE INTRIGUED BY THIS EVIL WENCH (AS I AM SURE ALL OF THE BAD COMMENTS HAVE DONE) TAKE IT AS AN EXTRA CLASS NEXT SEMESTER TO EXPERIENCE THE WRATH, AND THEN DROP IT

oh my god. this woman has issues. she really brings her personal baggage with her to class, and she grades students depending on how her mood is. a washed up old actress who's now an entry level theater teacher, she is anything but respectable!!!!!!!!!
